You will not be registered to vote until you return the completed voter registration form to your local city or town hall. The local clerk will thereafter provide you with acknowledgement of your voter registration; if you do not receive an acknowledgment of your voter registration within a reasonable time, please check with your local clerk for more information.

About the Forms

You may choose between a Massachusetts form and a federal form. The federal form may be used to register in most states.

If you are registering to vote as a Northampton resident and you live on campus, your physical address is the name of your house at Smith College. Your mailing address is your campus box number. Should you decide to register to vote in Northampton and you are currently registered elsewhere, you will be removed from the voter list in that city or town.
